Gishwhes final day.
Aug. 20th, 2015 04:40 pmAh, the last day of Gishwhes! A good, solid 12 hours of scrambling to get shit done! Some items have been planned all week and others. … well … some were a bit more impromptu. :D
Item #130 McDonald's make over. What would the interior of a McDonalds look like if the franchise served only organic, free-range, fresh, seasonal, slow cooked food? Your image must be of the interior of an actual McDonalds, but the overhead menu and kitchen decor must reflect this new direction.
Ahaha! Julie makes the best hippie! We could NOT get a McDonalds to give us permission to take a photo. It all has to go through head office, bla bla bla. So in our third McD's we just rushed in and photobombed.
item145 A live impala eating had from the trunk of a vintage Impala car.
This item, hands down was the hardest we did. The animal was WAY easier to find than the car! Every contact I found was either on vacation, the car wasn't drivable or they just didn't want to help us out. Even the one guy who DID agree to meet with us was only willing to come if it wasn't raining. Thank god it was a sunny day!
item160 Let's see an ice, snow or sand sculpture of an SPN character.
This was one of those 'final moments' items. Sam made one and it was hilariously bad. Nic also tried a sculpture, but wasn't happy with it, so I had some time left (at midnight) and attempted to sculpt Death. Sadly, I had shitty construction sand, not nice, fine beach sand. We even ran out to the local school and stole some sandbox sand, and while it was better than construction, it was still more coarse than I would have liked.
item177 Make a portrait of a CW actor using only naturally shedded hair/fur of your pets.
Another last minute item. I'm sure my horses were like WTF? Why are you brushing us at 9pm? He also has dog hair, peacock and chicken feathers.
item 83 You know the saying "No man is an island?" Prove it wrong.
Item 164 Show us your version of Tai Chi Breakfast.

The original video is Misha and his wife Vicki being silly and cracking eggs on each other's heads. This was also yet another last minute pick up video.
Item 213 Play ping pong underwater on an actual ping pong table. Crack a raw egg open and use it's yolk as your ball. Bonus points if you can backspin it off the table.

My pool might never recover! yuck. The hardest part about this one was finding a ping pong table! And I sure as hell wasn't going to spend $100 on something that I was going to chuck in the pool. So we made our own (regulation sized). But it floated. ;) Even when we weighed it down, so we flipped it over and played upside down.
Whew! I think that's it! Oh wait! We also did a team photo, and were instructed to show off our beautiful moustaches. Kerryn started it off by doing a really cute old timey pic, so we all joined in.
Okay, thats it! Well, for me and Julie. If you care to see what the rest of my team did, follow our tumblr, where we're posting them all in the next several days.
